I've voted a couple of days ago. No problem at all, using Opera 8.5. Everything was working on the website.What do you get now?
http://www.scawards.com/ says voting doesn't end untill the 28th, I just voted for the other products. avast! isn't on the list so......Either your trying to wind people up or you forgot the smiley or your in the wrong forum ;D
??? could you explain ?http://www.scawards.com/ says voting doesn't end untill the 28th, I just voted for the other products. avast! isn't on the list so......Either your trying to wind people up or you forgot the smiley or your in the wrong forum ;D
@ FastGameI meant I voted for the other products like anti Trojan, anti spyware. avast! wasn't in the AV section so I couldn't vote for it.
Why would you do this "I just voted for the other products. " would you care to explain.
So as I said, were you trying to wind people up or did you forget the smiley, like the one at the end of my comment.

States voting is over, my point is if voting is over then how come you can still vote until the 28th ? on everything but avast!
Yes this seems very strange to me too ???Where did you get this? From avast! page or from their?

And so?Well, I don't know ::)
What can we (the users) do now? ::)
How much did this cost??? ;D ;D ;D
So what they basicaly do is counting those votes... not by evaluating the true worthiness of all those product listed over there... hmmm, it's quite easy to manipulate those things.Fully agree... seems that the users are just being used here... :P
I wonder how much we can relly on all those results, all those programs in a real life... aside form these numbers
(we assumed that our chances of winning are so miniscule that it's pointless to go there). Well, you see, sometimes it pays to be optimistic (but it was probably still better than to go but not win).Vlk,
Avast got about 200,000+ votes in those two days, whereas a typical figure for a competitor's product was something like 5,000 votes during the whole 3-week voting period.
"... for example, technical support, how regular updates are, software team and clients/customers relationship, and some other factors."Detection rates of true Malware infections , time taken releasing signatures to detect new outbreaks, essentially based on technical factors, rather than popular votes. I suppose the popularity of an AV program is realated to a users perception of these factors though, or you would hope so.
